Mojo Monday: My Favorite Place...

Happy Monday! I thought for today's Mojo Monday post, I would share some pictures from my new studio! I just moved in a little over a month ago and it's become one of my favorite places to be. It is very small, only about 150 square feet but having a place to go to each day outside of the home, has really helped me focus on my business and my art.

It is in a little section of Plymouth called "Old Village" which dates back to the early 1800s and it's right next to the train tracks. I just love being here with the natural light and hearing the train whistle blowing as it goes by! Also, there is a beautiful park about a half mile from my studio so I can go walking on my lunch hour—if the boss lets me! :)

I tried to move in on the cheap so rather than heading to Ikea for new furniture (which was my first instinct) I ended up spray painting some furniture that was in our garage and basement. My computer desk used to be John's parent's old dining room table and the table underneath my Kelly Rae Robert's print was my Aunt Dorothy's old table... I just love it! My one splurge was my painting table, which I got at my favorite store in Ann Arbor —Found. It is an old wallpapering folding table! It wobbles a bit as I paint but I don't mind it...

I have been slowly filling it with food (which is important!), plants (which I'm sure to kill) and different kinds of inspiration...

I hope you enjoyed this little tour of my little studio! Happy Monday!
